A lot of People in the US have guns, so we banned Alex Jones????

In the US, a lot of twisted people have access to guns – that's why Alex Jones and Infowars were too dangerous not to be banned

But there are lots of people who aren’t in their right minds and in America they have access to guns. As part of an attempt to “investigate” and potentially rescue some of those supposedly caught up in the ring, one man turned up with a rifle and fired shots into the restaurant. Jones later backed off, but the damage had been done.

It’s often noted, when debates like this are held, that while speech may be free, there are still limits, even in America with its First Amendment, which is one of the best things about its famed constitution.

Every once in a while I read something so vile that it disgusts me, this one took the lead this week.
Although I may find Jones to be a clown, taking his access away only made him slightly more popular. He's no Poster Boy for the first Amendment, but the Author of this article isn't a US Citizen, so I'm sure She could be two offended, after all there is the entire Atlantic Ocean seperating her from Jones.

I stopped reading at UK and don't give a F what anyone there thinks.

Alex Jones is a clown.

Alex Jones is a clown.

Even clowns have free speech. I don't follow INFOWARS or Alex Jones, and I really am not into Sandy Hook Hoaxes and that sort of thing, but we're getting into dangerous times when we're censoring speech we don't approve of.

The real irony to me is that I don't need someone from outside of the US explaining to me how our Constitutional rights need to be regulated by them.

Yep, apparently some of them didn't get the memo from when we threw their tea in the harbor the first time. When the UK become a crime free utopia where Islamofags can't commit mass murder with a simple kitchen knife I'll consider entertaining their ideas, until then they can FOAD.

This is just the beginning. They'll de-platform more mainstream news personalities soon enough. They'll make sure another 2016 election never happens again.

LOL at characterizing Alex Jones as “mainstream”. The farther out on the fringe those “news” people are, the easier they are to “de-platform”. Alex Jones was a chip shot.

Yes he was, but more importantly, he was the guniea pig, to see if they could get away with it, and to gage public reaction..They'll do it again to someone else soon. And as long as nobody says anything, they'll keep doing it. Silencing anybody on the right is the goal here. Frankly this is where Google, Twitter, and the rest of them be to be torn apart, as they are nothing but a information monolopy, the goal of which is to control what you see, say, on the internet or anywhere else, make you a good little minion who'll do as your told, and believe what they tell you. Time to deplatform them.. I figure it's just a matter of time before sites like this are shut down as "too dangerous".
